Embarassing

Yeah... simply put im not good with wiring. I have a 93 civic ex coupe and im installing an amp. *sigh* i hate to ask this but where do you guys ground your amp to in the trunk? I wanna know the best possible place. Thanks a ton

Anywhere on the metal! na just joking. but really Anywhere solid. Just make sure of two things (1) Dont screw into the fuel tank and (2) make sure the the area is sanded or scraped down clean. that means no paint,glue or anything. If you dont ask you'll never know.
:bo:

thats right amigo. Just please make sure everything is tight and secure. By that i mean the wires not frizzing all out of the o-ring, and the wire coming loose. Your amps gotta be bolted down so it doesnt move and yank some wires out also. You prolly already know this but man.... ive seen my share of idiots who love to cut corners and think," ohh thats fine, it'll hold"

unscrew the 14mm bolts from under the carpet in the back towards the tail lights and sand it bare and put the o ring throung the bolt and tight it up and you should be good. When i had my last system thats what i did. :rip_1: alpine type - r

i use the back seat seat belt bolts
and just like ever one says clean up the surface
i use my cordless drill and a 3 inch wire wheel
because i am to lazy to use sand paper and the wire wheel workd just as good

Great advise just make sure when checking the area also check for clearance to where you will not hit brake lines or anything else like wiring.

This is not the best way to ground your amp just because you should always use a separate ground for amps.
